INVESTING IN EDUCATION, BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY
Our Mission
Our Mission
PLUS exists to create awareness among parents, industry, and the community that a progressive and growing society starts with superior education. We are dedicated to promoting academic excellence in Henry County Schools and the Paris Special School District by funding educational opportunities beyond what regular school budgets provide.
What We Do
What We Do
Each year, educators in both school systems apply for grants to fund special projects and classroom initiatives. With PLUS funding, teachers develop creative and innovative ways to enhance student learning both inside and outside the classroom. Our evaluation process ensures that only the most impactful grant applications receive funding.
"PLUS provides an awesome opportunity to open educational doors for students across Henry County. We have funded innovative, creative projects since 1999, encouraging our children to aim higher, dream of “what could be,” and to never settle for mediocrity. PLUS helps excellent teachers become superb sources of inspiration for eager students. I have been a proud supporter of this effort since it began and I gladly encourage others to support it as well. Our kids deserve our best! Let’s provide it!! "
--Randy Stephens, Board Member since 1999
